Farm Notes,


Hog products have stitftned IN price
with a declining supply of hogs and a
better demand.
1t is estimated that at least 75 per
cent of the garden truck used in this
vicinity now comes from southern
ports.
The orange crop of southerH Califor-
MIA, now all marketed, was considera.
bly, lighter than usual, being about
5000 boxes.
A New York farmer says he failed to
get a crop of turnips until he used un-
leache3 ashes to fertilize the ground.
Ashes will raise a crop IN any kind Of
land.
Plants growing too thickly together
cannot thrive. Some of them are as
weeds to the others. Thin them out if
too thick, and q larger yield will be the
result.
Sweden exports $4,000, 00e worth Of
butter a year. The government takes
IN interest in the industry, and has
dairy schools, where pupils are taught
how TO make good butter.
Nebraska crop reports are favorable,
the outlook in Minnesota and Dakota
only fair, while in Kansas it is poor for
wheat, yet excellent for corn. In the
region tributary to Louisville the
drsIght has been unfavorable for to-
bacco and other crops.
Dwarf peas seldom afford more than
one picking, though they come early.
The fall varieties require more labor
(and sticking), but they afford several
crops, and do not ripen all the pods at
the same time. Seed for IA late supply
may be planted even az late as now,
bnt the crop will not be heavy.
The foreign demand for wheat con-
tinues very heavy, Last week 6,t2l,-

Pubic and private crop reports port

Procure new crop of turnip seed
and have the ground fine. The rows may
be wide apart, SO as to allow of work
ing with the cultivator. The ground
should be rs fine as an a%sh-heap. Drop
the seed in small clusters. about six
inches apart in the rows, as the insects
will often destroy young turnips. If 90
thick when up they can be tbinned out.
Too much fine well rotted manure can
not be used on turnirs. Do not put
turnips IN ground occupied by corn the
previous year.

Germany makes a good showing in
the provisions made for the dissemina-
ton of agricultural knowledge. A
glance at the following statistics will
show how thorough are the mean of
obtaining this knowledge. Prussia has
four higher agricultural colleges with
some eighty professorships; she has
more than forty lesser schools, all hav-
ing model farms; she has five special
schools for the cultivation Of meadows
and the scientific studies of methods ef
irrigation; she has one special school
for the teaching of those who intend to
grow industrial Nurseries, she has a
school for teaching horseshoeing. one
for teaching silk raising, one for the
raising of bees, and one teaching the
cultivation Of fish. Besides all these
she has twenty special schools for the
education OF gardeners and fifteen
schools for the training Of those who
are to cultivate the grape.
The example Of Prussia has been
initiated by the other German states.
The little kingdom of Bavaria, scarcely
larger than Massachusetts, has twenty
six agricultural colleges, besides more
than 200 agricultural associations.
Wurtemburg, still smaller in area, has
sixteen colleges and seventy-siX asso-
eiatlons. Baden, with IA population of
only q million, has fourteen agricul-
turAl colleges, besides four
schools of gardening and forest
~. Saxony, with its dense
population of 1000, 600, compacted into
a space hardly larger than two Ameri-
can counties. has four higher, and
twenty agricultural schools, besides a
veterinary college and a department of
agriculture with twenty professors at
the university Of Leipsic. Saxe Wei
mar, with n population OF no more
than $50, 900 souts, has three agricul-
tural colleges, besides an agricultural
dJ ('mcnt with fifteen professorships
al me university of Jena.
In connection with this i is stated
that the average crop per acre IN Ger
many is steadily growing more. The
contrast between this country and Ger
MANY in the matter of facilities for
agricultural education is marked, and
net at all lattering to our pride. May
not the fact that the average yield per
acre of our staple crops diminish year
by year be partially attributable to the
lack Of knowledge of their business on
the part of so many of u farmerst
